All Style No Substance

Rating: 6/10 (22 July 2013)

The Good: Some of the best special effects in recent memory. CGI effects are beautiful and seamlessly integrated with actual footage. Fight scenes are satisfying. The scale of the battles felt authentic.
The Bad: Very thin plot elements. Characters are shallow and not developed well (despite the screenwriters obvious efforts). Nothing to make you care about the battles or their outcomes.
Conclusion: This movie looks great but is easily forgettable. There is nothing of substance to make you really care about this film. It's worth seeing on the big screen but I would recommend the matinée price if available.
